Riverside, 4 August 2023 - Ronda Rousey made her return to WWE during the 2022 Royal Rumble event, where she emerged victorious in the Women's Royal Rumble match. Since then, she has been a central figure, holding both the singles championship and the tag team championship with her partner, Shayna Baszler.
Their reign as WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, however, came to an unexpected end at the WWE Money in the Bank premium live event. During the match against
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Shayna shockingly betrayed Rousey by attacking her from behind and eventually putting her to sleep with a chokehold.
This betrayal set the stage for a heated feud between the two former allies, as Rousey wanted to settle the score with Shayna before taking another break from WWE. Reports suggest that Rousey's current WWE deal has a specific end date. The long-awaited showdown between Rousey and Baszler will take place this Saturday at SummerSlam, where they will face off in an MMA Rules match.
According to Dave Meltzer's latest
Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there's uncertainty about whether this will be Rousey's last match in WWE for the time being. Nevertheless, her departure is imminent, as the storyline had to be rushed due to the circumstances. The reason for keeping the specifics of the MMA Rules match under wraps is that they hadn't finalized the exact stipulations yet.
